re: Covid rules for exposed kids in school make no sense

So why does hospitalization require 20 days when she was treated with remdisivir which kicked the Covid’s arse? She may need 20 days to recover from this shite but there is no way this should be a 20 day isolation for fear of infecting others

Because data has shown that those with more than just mild or moderate cases of COVID are possibly infectious to others longer than 10 days.


She was sick enough to qualify for remdisivir (meaning she was on oxygen). That means she could still be infectious for up to 20 days after start of symptoms/positive test. Hence 20 days of isolation.


This stuff isn't made up numbers. It is from data that has been gathered as they are able to find out more and more about this virus. Obviously as they find out more about it...things will change to reflect those findings.
